If you have been doubting whether or not the HTC Vigor would be coming soon anytime soon, here is your proof that the wait is almost over. The Vigor (ADR6425LVW) just received a certification from the Bluetooth SIG for having Bluetooth 3.0 on board. The HTC made device has been rumored to hit stores this coming October, and with news like this hitting the wire, that date seems very likely. Just a quick rundown of the features to expect; 4.3-inch 1280×720 resolution display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragons, 8MP camera, Sense 3.5, Beats audio, and Android 2.3.4.

There we go guys. This is one more phone to anticipate a release in the coming months.

Honestly, every phone that comes out will beat the previous one. Its how technology works. This one does look good, but when my upgrade is available in March, a phone even better than this one will be out.

I reallllllllllllllllllly have been all on for the Bionic, but this phone just sounds tempting. I wish a few pics would pop up to get a look at it. I am used to waiting... so I shall see

Yeah, for a looooooong time I was dead-set on either the S2 or the Bionic. But now that it seems the Vigor actually has a chance of coming out before December (when my contract officially expires), I'm definitely willing to wait.

My D1 is in decent working order besides the 256mb-RAM-induced lag and the fact that my headphone jack no longer works.

If the Vigor doesn't come out before December, I'll just fall back on the Bionic or S2.

I look at it this way however. There are "generations" of phone hardware - the current gen being the dual core, qHD phones that have been out since the Spring. The Bionic looks like its going to be one of the last of that generation. The next gen looks like it will be the 720p, 1.5GHz+ dual core, etc phones. Yes there will always be a new phone around the corner, but I'd prefer to buy one when the new phone around the corner isn't a jump in generations.

unless you're not buying your phones outright, it makes no sense to not upgrade phones ASAP instead of waiting. With the current retail price of a phone being around (low end) 575 and a conservative 6% sales tax that phone costs your $610 out the door. That's ~$310-360 (if not more) than the 2 year contract pricing on most current top tier phones.If u byoureak that $310 down into the 20 months, before you're eligible for an upgrade, that comes to ~15.45/month you're wasting by not upgrading. Upgrade and stop waiting people. Find something you want and buy it. There will be something better in stores tomorrow. NOTHING is going your last device.
